+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 It's no wonder the site has been slow...they were using the site resources to make videos. Quote
+LukeTrocity Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 It's no wonder the site has been slow...they were using the site resources to make videos. Ok but to be fair that video was amazing. I got my laugh for the day. Quote
+t4e Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 OMG the site is down, what a surprise ... may the Hamsters be with them (Lackeys) through this difficult time Quote
+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 May 4th -> The Hamster Labour Day May 5th - Anniversary of my evil "Cinco de Saxo" 5/5 puzzle cache. I'd provide a link, but the site is down (as noted in the OP). Quote
+Too Tall John Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Miss Jenn says to go caching while the site's down. I'm gonna need one of them fancy geo-umbrellas.... Who am I kidding? I'm going to find a cache anyways. Quote
+roziecakes Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 It might be what I do after work. I was smart and loaded up my PQs... Quote
+Snoogans Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I'm excited to see what the hamsters do!! SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!! Look closely. They are all the same hamster! MissJenn is the evil overlord of the insidious misdirection campaign! She fooled you but not me.... Everyone knows Geocaching hates chinlren! Quote
+keehotee Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 A healthy hamster is a happy hamster! A healthy hamster is delicious grilled, between two halves of a bun :lol: Quote
+MissJenn Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 MissJenn is the evil overlord of the insidious misdirection campaign! She fooled you but not me.... Why ... I oughtta .... ban you from geocaching.com right now! I would if it were up. Quote

jholly Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 No wonder the PQ's get screwed up from time to time, they assemble them manually. Is that Nate holding the rod to keep the kids working? Quote
+TomToad Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Anyone notice the hamsters going too work and none coming from work? Considering that GC is up 24/7, you would think there would be a shift change. I think that the hamsters are actually put on the wheels and forced to run until they die, then are replaced by a batch of new hamsters. That's why the site has been so buggy lately, the poor hamsters were nearing their death Quote

Can frogs eat hamsters? Quote

+iamgeek Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 May 4th -> The Hamster Labour Day Star Wars Day. May the fourth be with you. Quote
+Fianccetto Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 may the Hamsters be with them (Lackeys) through this difficult time And may the force be with the hamsters on today of all days! Quote

+dfx Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Are these UNIONIZED hamsters? I don't know if the hamsters are ionized or not (un-ionized ) but I believe they're either pasteurized or ozonated. Quote
jholly Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Coming up on 6 hours...... any bets?? six and half hours, several hotfixes and a quick down time or two to fix immediate problems. Quote
+MissJenn Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Thank goodness that video with me in it is down now. Phew! It's been replaced by ... a live website! Quote
+jacob501 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I don't really like the website...sorry..but when you search for a cache and it comes up with the results everything just looks too scrunched in the middle of the page...and i don't like the new smiley faces either...they are kind of ugly...oh well, you don't get everything in life! Quote
+Chokecherry Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Can we move the feed back tab somewhere. On the cache pages it's kind of a pain to read text with the tab over it. Quote
+mtn-man Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Thank goodness that video with me in it is down now. Phew! It's been replaced by ... a live website! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Two certain volunteer global mods probably loved seeing hamsters AND admin bricks AND MissJenn all in the same video. But alas, they have the memories. Edited May 4, 2011 by mtn-man Quote
+Sioneva Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Aaaargh, is there any way to get rid of the "Recent Activity" slideshow thingie? It's really annoying. I'm glad someone in Germany logged a cache, but really, it doesn't seem justified to give it that much prominence. On the old site, it was easy to ignore. Quote
+jacob501 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) never mind...sorry i said anything... Edited May 5, 2011 by jacob501 Quote
+scottyw Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 It might be back but it won't let me sign in. Hey maybe I fixed it by adding it as a trusted site. It seem to be working now. Quote
+Panther&Pine Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 the new website is <Edit>...you suck Groundspeak...couldn't you have just kept it how it was??? and the beta maps aren't even good either! you totally messed up the tiled icons on there! Wow, just tell us how you feel. Quote
+sword fern Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 the new website is crap...you suck Groundspeak...couldn't you have just kept it how it was??? and the beta maps aren't even good either! you totally messed up the tiled icons on there! Hey groudspeaks was kind enough to start the addicting sport of geocaching, they made an awesome site update ( I dislike the new smilies) and your badmouthing them? Show some appreciAtion, jacob501!

Oh... I didn't see that version of Jacob's post. Nevermind, Jacob... sometimes retreat really is the better part of valor! To Sword Fern, Groundspeak did not start the addicting sport of geocaching, but they were the first to capitalize on it. Quote
+AlohaBra and MaksMom Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 The upgrades to the site are incredible. The speed is amazing!! Quote

I figured that anybody that Groundspeak was able to rope into being both a mod and a reviewer should be easy to fool. I was wrong. Quote
